Aston Villa vs Chelsea preview
Villa’s point in midweek means a win over Chelsea here would move them to within a point of Enzo Maresca’s men in the table.
Unai Emery’s side go into the weekend’s action in ninth place but only five points behind Man City in fourth.
They’ve also only tasted defeat once in the league at home this season.
That gap could’ve been shorter after a rollercoaster game at Villa Park the other night, where Villa trailed and led Liverpool before settling for a 2-2 draw.
Donyell Malen’s last kick dragging a couple of inches wide could’ve really changed the outlook for both sides too but Villa come into the game in fine order.
Chelsea don’t.
It wasn’t all that long ago they were muscling into the title conversation. Now they could drop out the top six with defeat on Saturday night.
Successive losses to Brighton in the FA Cup made it three defeats in their last four across all competitions but just TWO wins from their last NINE league outings.
But they’ve not lost at Villa Park in any of their last four trips…

Aston Villa vs Chelsea predictions and tips
Home comforts
Villa have only lost twice at home this season – once in the league and once in the League Cup.
They’ve been so strong at home, while Chelsea on their travels have been rotten recently.
No wins – just two draws – in their last six games away from Stamford Bridge, conceding three goals in two of the last three games too.

Midfield battle
Five yellow cards to his name in the Premier League, Enzo Fernandez has added two of those in the last two games.
Frustration in that Blues midfield is apparent and should he keep his place, there’s no reason why a bookings hat trick isn’t on the cards.
Villa midfield has been terrific, with likes of Tielemans and McGinn not feared to put a challenge in.
